Please, if you think that any of Abrams films have reached the bullshit level that the prequels established, I think you need to watch more movies. This movie will be AT WORST far better then the prequels.

Well see, still not compeletly convinced it's true.

“Look, Star Wars is one of my favorite movies of all time,” J.J. gushed. He added, “I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big Star Trek fan growing up, so for me, working on Star Trek didn’t have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more then anyone to the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer!”

Even if JJ has moved on to a better-paying customer who drives a fancier car and pours a better brand of champagne, I'm sure Star Trek will continue to be lucrative enough that Paramount will continue the movie franchise with a different director.

Both Star Trek and Star Wars have survived the worst that can be thrown at them (Star Wars in particular, yeesh) so there's no need to fret about either. They're touch sumbitches.

Star Trek has survived many different directors. Frankly, it's amazing that Star Trek still exists at all. I'm sure everything will work itself out. At least now Hollywood has an idea of what a new, successful Trek franchise can look like.
